As school districts around the country reveal reopening guidelines for when students return to classrooms in the fall, many parents are concerned about how the coronavirus could affect their children.

A compilation of studies and articles published in JAMA Pediatrics found most patients under the age of 18 with COVID-19, the illness caused by SARS-CoV-2, have mild symptoms and fully recover within one to two weeks – quicker than most adults.

Though this may alleviate some concerns, medical experts said parents shouldn’t let their guard down.
